Apologies for not responding here; I've been working on things like the enclosed . The video contains two avatars; each is created with motion capture used simultaneously by two people (therefore four people in all); the stills are from head and body scans of dancers that are then attached to the avatars; in other words there is an entire community here invisible and visible; dancers are Kira Sedlock and Foofwa d'Imobilite; programmer is Gary Manes; production etc. myself; choreography mixed; technical Azure Carter; created at the Virtual Environments Lab, West Virginia University. For a more detailed rendering of the video try http://www.alansondheim.org/riddle.mov . This work consists of duals, as if the pre- or proto-linguistic self-constructed from oppositions that dissolve into the abject.

Hi Mr. Sondheim.
I saw my name in "Vel," or at least assume it's mine since the name is unusual, and was curious about how the name got into your writing:
"...d rewrite rewrite rewrite feb rewrite continuous rewrite to rewrite martha rewrite engber rewrite rewrite rewrite ( ) rewrite re rewrite inquiry rewrite ..."
Is inclusion of the name a result of a random web search that was part of the writing process?
A writer myself, I'm very interested in how any text comes to be, and so am asking out of pure curiosity.
Sincerely,

wonderful stuff alan!
in the red image,
are the red pieces
individual objects
or is the whole thing singular.
i guess what i mean is
can you play with
all the red pieces
after its done?
high alan,
i found yer last trace project a while ago, which i read, or rather tried to decipher. very intriguing. i wanted to read some more but it has been removed from the interweb in its original form...
i see some flaky residue of myself in these observations. p'raps that's the point.
i feel obliged to comment yet in similar situations i usually find reasons not to. I over analyse; forming coherent or insightful sentences should be left to someone who knows what they’re talking about. This is an exception.
thanksz
